CYMEL® 323 is a crosslinking agent that offers fast cure, humidity resistance, improved film hardness, and solvent resistance in CASE ingredients.

RHOPLEX® ECO-3482 is an environmentally-advanced, APE-free, ultra low formaldehyde acrylic emulsion that combines softness with the inherent durability of a self-crosslinking binder, without the associated formaldehyde emissions. This self-crosslinking binder has excellent color, combined with softness and wet durability.

CYMEL® 304 Resin is a specially alkylated, high solids melamine crosslinking agent designed specifically for industrial wood coating applications. Systems formulated with CYMEL® 304 Resin exhibit excellent catalyzed stability and films develop excellent early hardness, resistance properties, appearance, and cold check resistance. It has very low free formaldehyde and low evolved formaldehyde on cure relative to conventional urea-based formulas.

CYMEL® MB-98 resin is a butylated melamine crosslinker with high degree of alkylation and very low free formaldehyde. It has been specially designed to improve the resistance properties of urea-based acid curing wood coating formulations.

RHOPLEX® B-88 is a very nonionic acrylic firm binder used as an additive to stiffen hand. Unlike other RHOPLEX® dispersions, RHOPLEX® B-88 does not form continuous films under normal conditions of application. When blended with softer polymers it helps produce films with improved toughness and improved resistance to blocking while maintaining good water resistance.

CYMEL® U-662 resin is a partially iso-butylated urea crosslinker supplied in a mixture of iso-butanol and xylene. CYMEL® U-662 resin has high reactivity and a high tendency for self-condensation providing fast drying films with good gloss, hardness and block resistance. CYMEL® U-662 resin is an excellent crosslinker for acid curing wood coating applications where low formaldehyde emission is required.

RHOPLEX® ECO-100 is an environmentally-advanced, APE-free, ultra low formaldehyde acrylic emulsion that yields a firm hand, high strength and very good durability to wash. This self-crosslinking binder contains only trace level of formaldehyde, making it ideal for applications requiring strength, stiffness and durability, but where formaldehyde must be eliminated.

CYMEL® MB-94 resin is an n-butylated melamine crosslinker with a high degree of alkylation and very low free formaldehyde. CYMEL® MB-94 resin is designed for use in combination with urea resins for acid curing wood finishes to improve chemical resistance and cold check properties while maintaining fast drying properties.

CYMEL® U-216-10LF resin is an n-butylated urea resin which has excellent compatibility with hydrophobic resins, including epoxies. It is the HAPS-free version of CYMEL®® 216-8 resin with the additional benefit of lower free formaldehyde. It was designed for metal deco coatings, can coatings and coil coating primers. CYMEL® U-216-10LF resin may also be added as a leveling agent in cold-cure amine catalyzed epoxy resin systems. Approximately 3% of CYMEL® U-216-10LF on a solids basis imparts improved flow properties.

RHOPLEX® E-1691LF is a low-formaldehyde, aqueous acrylic emulsion designed specifically as an overprint or letdown vehicle for adhesion to vinyl films and vinyl- coated substrates. RHOPLEX® E-1691LF offers excellent stain and solvent resistance, adhesion to vinyl, excellent plasticizer migration resistance, and excellent thermal color stability.

RHOPLEX® B-85 is a very firm anionic acrylic binder used as an additive to anionic binders to stiffen hand. Unlike other RHOPLEX™ dispersions, RHOPLEX™ B-85 does not form continuous films under normal conditions of application. When blended with softer polymers it helps produce films with improved toughness and improved resistance to blocking.
